Yes, but aren't men constantly told to hold other men accountable?

Remember previous Jezebel arti les where both writers and readers called anyone who didnt believe Jackie "idiots" and misogynists? I do. Read this and other articles http://jezebel.com/is-the-uva-rap…

Yes! I knew this sounded familiar!

Say What? Who comes up with these baseless rumors?!?!?!

The Ravens arent hiring?

at first I thought the first pic was from the show and that they were trying to say that wasn't shumpert

Her thin, breathy voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Yeah, no. She sounds like David Sedaris imitating Billie Holiday. Not a fan.

"well, almost anyone"

It is an homage to an era. Not a rip off of any particular song. It takes influence from a lot of different Boogie and Electro funk acts. From the aforementioned Time, to Midnight Star, Zapp & Roger, Cameo, and many others. It's also a really fun song.

First, it's Yankovic, and second, Al's rights are well protected as a satirist. Not to mention he asks permission (which he legally does NOT have to do, he just does it because he's an awesomely nice guy) before releasing any parodies.

I don't keep up with contemporary pop at all, and had managed to be oblivious of Blurred Lines except for its name; I'm of the generation that knows Marvin Gaye's entire catalog through and through. When I heard the suit had won, I assumed it was as clear cut as George Harrison ripping off He's So Fine for My Sweet…

Absolutely agree, thanks for doing the analysis. This is a ridiculous suit and genuinely worries me as a musician.

Exactly, this isn't "Ice Ice Baby," it's SIMILAR at best, but that's it.

Thicke didn't do a cover of "Got To Give It Up". All I really hear is a similar cowbell. Which to me is like you getting sued for putting an article on your blog that included the phrase "The possibilities are endless"...and getting successfully sued by Gawker because that phrase is in this article.

Not a Thicke fan, but his song sounds NOTHING like Gayes'. It shares only three basic SECONDARY concepts: falsetto vocals, a bouncy bass line, and a similar tempo. These (concepts) are not things you can copyright. The most important tangible element, the MELODY, is not even vaguely similar. Even the chord…

well there is an idea, that women use sex to manipulate man to do what they want and man would do anything for sex.

Dios mio!
